An analogy would be this: it would be like flying in a plane designed by an engineer that calculated coincidentally correct values but arrived at them using completely incorrect methods and calculations.

The output happened to be right but the method to get there was fundamentally wrong and would be faulty if used in other scenarios.

Getting the right answer for the wrong reasons is still wrong in a way, the process to arrive at the conclusion is important.
